TS: 34th Brightening of Immanis, Winter of Era XIII Post Fractum

A letter arrived bearing the seal of the Governor of Arium.

To his Grace, Keldon Elsdragon, does his Imperial Excellency the Director General of Arium, Defender of the Great Mountains and Master of Solace Isle, Marquis Jenius de Merchante offer his greetings.

I hope this letter finds you and yours well. My reports of the mess in Paxia are rather extensive and I must congratulate you on your efforts there. It seems my faith in you was not badly placed.

Regardless of this, Arium is aware of the fortress Centripax has built on our borders. We are aware of this affront and we have tolerated it. The Governor realizes that certain parties in your government at the time held the mistaken belief that it would be possible to restore Chesley to its former glory. As such we have tolerated this, because we ourselves have extremists in our Government who would like nothing more than to take Primus Gaudeo in the name of Arium.

However, as long as this citadel remains staffed by soldiers of Centripax, any soldiers from Centripax entering our domain will be seen as an act of war.

From the desk of His Imperial Excellency
The Director General of Arium, the Defender of the Great Mountains and Master of Solace Isle, Marquis Jenius de Merchante.

PS. You should fire your clerk, his spelling is atrocious and it reflects badly on your skill as an administrator.
